My Lace


I have been working on this every once in a while for over a year. I am intent on finishing it soon I hope. There are 193 rounds and I am on 111, I got a ways to go. I was inspired by another blog I was reading or maybe it was on the shawl yahoo group, anyway I saw a shawl that was similar and the woman finished it in a month and a half. I got to thinking of all the other things I have finished since I started this and it is quite a lot. Socks, sweaters, shrugs, cardigans, and a jacket well I haven't been lazy just distracted. I have not shown a pic of this and thought it was about time. Once it is off the needles I will post a pic of it again.

Tempted Yarns


I am very excited to announce the birth of a new family business "Tempted Hand Painted Yarns" my step-daughter and I are having a great time playing with the yarn. It has been fun and out of 8 skeins of yarn 5 are sold. We put them up on Etsy at www.temptedyarns.etsy.com and we also started a blog with the adventures of Tempted at http://temptedyarns.blogspot.com/. Hope this will be a good and profitable venture guess we'll just have to wiat and see.
On the knitting and spinning front I started to count how many projects I have on needles and I think it is only 4 not to bad, my lace shawl, lace socks, cables socks, and a scarf for a friend from her handspun. I also spun about 350 yds of an Alpaca/wool blend, I like it though I may still overdye it.
